Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne of 'Manchester City' is spending his last season at the club and plans to sign with a new team during the summer transfer window. For this reason, he is not showing interest in participating in the club world championship, which will be held in a new format updated by FIFA.
This prestigious tournament will take place from June 15 to July 13 in the United States, featuring the strongest clubs from Europe. However, the 33-year-old experienced midfielder has indicated that he intends not to participate in the competition in order to resolve his future during the summer transfer window. According to renowned journalist Jeremy Cross, De Bruyne is concerned about the possibility of sustaining an injury during the world championship, which could complicate his transfer to a new club.
Currently, there is little time left until the expiration of Kevin De Bruyne's contract with the 'Citizens', and the match against 'Fulham' on May 25 within the English Premier League is said to potentially be his last game in Manchester. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of it becoming a farewell match for the star who has been playing for the club for many years.
However, De Bruyne stated in an interview with journalists that he has not yet reached a final decision with the club on this matter.
"For now, I can't say anything definitive on this topic, as we haven't had a final discussion with the club about participating in the championship or not. If the management wants to call me and talk, I am certainly ready for that, but I don't see the situation unfolding exactly like that," said the Belgian star footballer.
During his time at 'Manchester City', Kevin De Bruyne has become one of the team's most important players, and his actions on the field have paved the way for numerous trophies. He has won several titles in the English Premier League and cup competitions with the 'Citizens' and is recognized as one of the best footballers in Europe.
In this season, De Bruyne remains one of the key performers for the team. However, his decision to leave the club could lead to significant changes within the team and pose serious challenges for Guardiola during the summer transfers.
Club fans are currently worried about the star player's decision and hope to see how he performs in the match against 'Fulham' and that it will not be his last encounter in the team's history.
In any case, De Bruyne's decision is sure to become a hot topic of debate among football fans and experts in the near future.
